Story
Cleo was a stray we found around our home in February of 2025. She is a very sweet girl who loves to snuggle but hates to be picked up. She is great with our 1yr old Orange female tabby, but she does not do well with our 7yr old male tabby or our 3 year old grey tabby. I've talked with the vet and we both feel like Cleo is trying to assert her dominance. She would do best in a home with a cat that is the same age as her and is willing to play with her. Cleo loves the scratching posts we have around the house and is litter box trained. She does not claw the furniture or tear up the carpet. Most days you can find Cleo in the window in my office sun bathing or on my lap snuggling. Cleo also likes to chat once she gets to know you. She is a very sweet/talkative cat and we would love to keep her, but our oldest male has started marking because he does not like her. She will chase him and go after him for no reason.

Good with cats, Needs special attention, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Tom is the sweetest boy. He loves napping and looking out the patio and windows, especially when birds are out. He is calm around other cats and enjoys giving "pecks" on your cheeks (he rubs his face on yours or pushes his nose into your cheek to indicate he wants to cuddle/receive affection). He also loves Churros (in moderation of course). Tom is so affectionate and I just wish to give the sweetheart a couple of more years of life. It breaks my heart to let him go because I rescued him when he was about 6 weeks old. Many shelters I've called have been honest that they would put him down because of his history (urinary blockage in the past) and because he is a senior cat (not many people adopt seniors). But whomever adopts Tom will see how special he is and that it's worth it. All he wants is loving home, I have all the love in my heart, but I no longer will be having a home soon (I will be homeless soon). I have over a month's worth of his prescription food and his prescription.

Story
Cat showed up at back door about 2-3 months ago where we feed stray cats. When we opened door to put out food and water he just kind of walked into our house. We took him to Mesquite Animal shelter where he was neutered. We need to rehome primary because of our health issues. Lucky is sweet and playful. He spends most of day outside but comes in the house every night. Uses litter box. We think he is between 2-3 years old but not sure.

I adopted King from a shelter, and he is about 2 years old. He is incredibly sweet, cuddly, and affectionate, and he absolutely loves attention. King enjoys exploring the outdoors and is curious by nature, but he also loves settling in for quality cuddle time. Im looking for a loving home where he will receive plenty of affection, enrichment, and care. Overall, King is a gentle, loving companion with a great personality. 🐾
